Mr Vapour

I can confirm my presence with fresh blasted rims and pick up of Mazda rims. I'm.also thinking mex rather than burger.

Jag front end??

Many thanks. That is what I was hoping

Gents Headlights. I know I can't retrofit hid in to a regular semi sealed unit. But what if the housings were made for HID lights? Will they need to have marks on the lens to be legal? Thanks

Car folie is has a good following.in the bmw community.

Great day boys and gals Some great sheds seen. We were also invited back to Richards shed later in the year.

Do you.know if it's a Clevo or Windsor?

Have you set tdc via other means i.e. cam lobes or straw/rod down the bore then checked the marks. Is it out when you do.this?

My wife want to know if any other wives/kids will be coming to the bbq after?

Always enjoy updates on this. For general knowledge, how much is the cost of the plating.

Right so first stop at birkenhead head at 11.00. I'm going to get my bbq to Neals shed this week. Expect pm in your box. Going to ask for 10 bucks from all to pay for meat and brews at the bbq. Hosts. Can we please have addresses. One rule suggested is take a crap befor you leave home. Don't bomb hosts facilities and Neal has No facilities to use.

Hello gents. Is there any issue with making a small tunnel over my rear subframe to fit the exhaust in. Common issue more low and larger pipe = squashed exhaust. At this point car will not have a back seat. Thanks

Yes not a bad idea. I have been putting some thought in to this the last couple of days and will be updating this.in the next few days. It's only 2 weeks away!

Depending on what's on them i.e..powder or paint, I can strip, wet blast or dry bead blast them and get them ready for polishing. Give me a shout if you want to chat

This is the group 5 bmw build we are going to look at. http://www.themotorhood.com/themotorhood/2015/9/10/hand-building-a-group-5-bmw

I don't have an issue with that at all. Neal do.you have an.issue with this. We could even up the numbers for the first 3 sheds then some go on to check out Richards and the rest go back to Neals or over to Bigfoots. I'll check with richard and see if we can do two.smaller.quick groups.

Oldrx7 is out and dave 123456789 is in Ned your next in line.

I put a number restriction on it as the race car shed is a GC, but a complete stranger. He is a friend of a friend and was very accommodating to let us through to have a look. but was not keen on a gaggle of strangers poking around his work shop. from here it will have to work on a one in one out, so of you cant come let me know as there are a few people that numbers will not allow for. And this has been up for almost a month so lots of time for people put there hand up before now.

fat finger corrected.

So the plan is Sunday 12th March. Start at 9.30. Allowing 1.5 hours between sheds. 9.30 Kiwi birdman Birkenhead check out his Ej Holden restoration. 11.00 tumeke paoatoetoe back yard Barry engineering shed. It's an estate sale so lots of good things up for grabs. Bring cash. 12.30 Vapour Shed also in papatoetoe to have a play with the blaster and a couple of sausages and bread for lunch. 1.30 Richards group 5 race car build. Alfreston. 3.00 Neals triumph cave for a bbq. Should be a good day.

ATTENDING Kempy Punkout Mirage man Bigfoot with shed PIAZZONOOB Sentra Tumeke Oldrx7 Poo Chris r Kiwibirdman Onthreetrees Mr vapour NZED Straight6pete Marty bean Mrk2marty. Tiparacer Mr locost Sheepers. Xspeed. So that's 21/22 going to have to lock it up there.

Picture free post at this point photos will be added soon. So things have been even slower than before. Getting the vapour shed up and running has taken up a lot of what little time I have had. I also had to sell my motor, gearboxes and LSD to fund the shed fitout. Not worries as who needs drive line when I still have rust to repair. But in car related news. So things came to a very dramatic stop. So the rust in the fire wall lead me to some fairly terminal findings. The reason the firewall had rusted.is it.is.where a new front corner had been welded on to the car. I pulled the guards off and discovered a weld line that was under bog. From the front right hand corner back to the Lh fire wall is off a different car. Hard to spot and obviously an old repair from when this was standard practice. But to repair the fire wall was going to be lots of work. Been doing a lot of thinking. So I had a car with some serious damage and moderate rust. and a car that was rusty. What to do I decided that I did not want to do large amounts of work on a car that I may need engineers repAir certs. Knowing the extent of the damage I will not to bodge it and have a car I really could not sell without complete disclosure. So I managed to steal some time and got in to the grey 323I with a wire brush and grinder. I found some very pleasing things. The areas that I had already found large amounts of bog in were not rusty as thought. There had been some poor braised lap patches in its past. These had then had large amounts of bog used to cover them up. The entire sill area was covered in bog with no major damage under. The rear panel had some accident damage but no rust in the arches and lower rear. the rear light panel is shot. Yes it's got some serious rust but it's also fixable and it's rusty in areas that the black one is not!!! So in a complete turn around the grey one is being kept and the black one fully stripped all common and needed panels cut out and the rest scrapped. Now I'm.clear as to what is needed to be done I'm.moving forward with a cutting disc and a grinder. Happy but sad as well. Lists have been written on bonnets and I'm making progress after almost a year of stagnation. Onwards and upwards Photos.to come soon.

I'm just waiting to hear back from richard about looking at his race car shed But it's.looking like it's.going to be the 12th Sunday. So we have 5 sheds. Vapour shed papatoetoe Tumeke Papatoetoe Bigfoot Papakura Richard Alfreston(yeah I know) Neal Ardmore.

Sweet. Yeah it's on the list of things needed Which one you looking at the blue one or the white one.

Sell it to me cheap and I'll put your spare head on it.
